Skincare is not just the products you use. In reality, a well-rounded beauty routine involves healthy eating, good habits and your skincare products. So integrating certain steps and devices into your regimen can help your skin look years younger.
One of the most overlooked aspects of skincare is circulation. Improving the circulation in your face can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells more quickly, improving turnover and repairing damage that may cause signs of aging.
And we know a few tricks you can bring into your beauty routine for better circulation and a more youthful complexion.
4 Skincare Steps To Improve Circulation
1. Use A Derma Roller
A derma roller is an inexpensive skincare device designed to stimulate circulation through tiny microneedles that you gently roll across your face. It works like any other facial roller, except for the fact that it might feel like a small pricking sensation.
For best results, use a derma roller two or three times per week. It only takes a minute to use, and for best results apply facial serum both before and after using your derma roller.
2. Try A Mico Current Device
Micro current devices are on the pricier end of at-home facial tools, but they are extremely worth the cost. These electronic devices work by stimulating the muscles underneath the skin with a low electical current. The result is increased collagen production and improved circulation.
If you'd like to try out a micro current device, Nuface makes easy-to-use options at various price points.
3. Practice Facial Yoga
Though it might seem too simple to actually work, facial yoga is an excellent way to prevent wrinkles from forming and improve the circulation in your face. This works through different stretches that target various areas in your face.
Some people even believe that facial yoga works better than botox! If you're interested, get started here with a few of our favorite stretches.
4. Exfoliate Regularly
And finally, make sure that you exfoliate frequently. You should aim to use an exfoliating scrub or mask once or twice a week, to help remove dead skin cells, promote cell turnover and improve the circulation to your face.
